How to add a front page to a folder

This How-to applies to: 2.0

By default, Plone lists all folder items when its address is visited. It is very easy to create a customised front page for a folder. All folder items remain listed in the navigation column

Summary

Customised folder front pages must be called index_html - create a new page and edit its short name. Then edit the page using the standard editing facilities, save the page and publish it

NB. You might need to set your preferences to allow short name editing first:

Navigate to your preferences from the link top right close to your user name

Then select Personal Preferences

Check the box next to Allow editing of Short Names

Save the page

To create the front page for the folder

Navigate to the folder and select page from the add to folder drop down menu

Complete the page's short name with index_html

Edit the rest of the page

Save

Publish the page
